funny how if I wanted to buy tens of thousands rounds of ammo. numerous assault weapons,gas grenades,body armor etc it wouldn't throw up a red flag to the govt.but if I want to buy over 30 tablets of asthma medicine at a time it's impossible. and I have to show i.d., it comes from behind the pharmacists counter and I have to sign for it.

If only he had tried to bring nail clippers or a bottle of water onto an airplane, he might have been stopped.

Why does the government need to be shown a red flag for what is currently normal activity? The US is more armed than the Chinese, Indian (call center people) and Russian armies combined. Hoarding meth making tabs is much more suspicious and obvious of illegal activity.

I think he wanted to destroy any evidence in his apartment, but I wonder if his larger plan was to create one hell of a diversion just before the pre-planned time he was going to open fire at the theater. Sounds like he wanted every cop, firefighter and EMT to be at one location, unable to respond quickly to what he was planning at the theater.

Maybe. I think it was, I may end up dead or captured. Let's ensure that I can kill every.last.mother.farker.I.can.

The only thing I don't understand about any of this.. Why do you think he told the police his place was rigged like this? Believe me, I'm glad he did because no one else needed to die but I did find myself wondering why he decided to spill the beans.. Last minute change of heart?

There is some truth in this.

Want to buy a 50 pound bag of ammonium nitrate to fertilize your garden? Show some ID and sign your name on the dotted line because you just might be the next Timothy McVeigh.

Want to withdraw $10,000 or more from your bank account one day? Sure, go ahead, but your bank will report it to the government under the Bank Secrecy Act because you just might be in the Mafia or an Al Queda supporter.

Not to mention all of the TSA checks to buy a ticket and get on a plane.

Has there been any confirmation on which song was playing? All I've read so far is that it was a "techno" song and that it was set on repeat.

If I had to venture an uninformed guess, it would be "Bangarang" by Skrillex. Just based off of recent popularity, the associated gunophile video, and the shooter's apparent dickishness. That shiat's annoying.

And you want to live under the rules of those countries? Ask them about their quality of life and if most of them wouldn't trade places with you.

/you don't have to worry about a stranger shooting you, the government will run over you with a tank or shoot your ass behind a building

I agree 100% with you and I believe that if Aurora was a right to carry town we wouldn't be having a discussion about twelve innocent lives lost. Granted, not every spree shooter booby traps his apartment either. Nonetheless, if more citizens were given the right to carry, the less incidents like this will happen.

studebaker hoch:You can't just say stuff like "thousands of rounds of ammo".

Normal people who use guns legally will go through thousands of rounds of ammo eventually. They may buy a lot at once if they find a deal.

Not a big deal.

Besides, the "Obama's gonna take your guns!!!" whargarble in the past few years has caused massive buying and stockpiling of ammo. Who would notice one lunatic buying up bunches of ammo amongst all the others in the Derp Brigade?.

Ammo numbering in the thousands isn't going to do you much good unless you have a sophisticated machine gun and a couple of guys to help you carry the boxes.
